I have modeling down pretty well in Blender now. It's superior to even Softimage (and that's no joke) but it takes the requisite growing pains to get that far along.
I'm thinking my favorite way forward is Blender for Modeling. Houdini for semi-auto UV creation, Rigging, Exporting (and possibly animation) and some 3rd party renderer or game engine for final output. And (for the time being) ZBrush or Mudbox for sculpting/painting maybe with Substance Painter. All the while taking time out to automate as many repetitious things as possible using Houdini.
